Aluminum Recycling Facts

Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV set for three hours.

Recycling aluminum uses only 5% of the energy used to make the material from scratch. That means you can make 20 cans out of recycled material with the same amount of energy it takes to make one can out of new material. Energy savings in 1993 alone were enough to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years.
